"He put us up at a hotel in Santa Barbara, which was 100 miles north of Los Angeles, because he didn't want us to getting into any trouble," Long said. "No nightlife. Of course some of the guys found ways around that and snuck out."

The Packers didn't start off as strong as they wanted against the Kansas City Chiefs, and were beginning to lose their lead by halftime.

"Until one of Lombardi's famous half time motivational speeches … he was the greatest motivator. We also feared him a bit. So we came out of the second half and killed them,” Long said.

The focus was always on teamwork, which Long epitomized in that game. When Max McGee got called to go in, but had forgotten his helmet in the locker room.

"I said, ‘Here Max, use my helmet,’” Long said. "Well, as you know, Max McGee scored the first touchdown in Super Bowl history with my helmet."

The Packers won that first Super Bowl 35-10, the first of many amazing memories that started the Packers legacy.

Long planned to watch the Packers versus the Cardinals on Saturday, and believes the Packers have a chance to win if they protect Rogers, and keep their mistakes to a minimum.
